Why visit

Okatse Canyon is about two kilometres long and up to a hundred metres deep, with a river, small lakes and waterfalls along its floor. A 780-metre walkway clings to the canyon wall and ends at a viewpoint over the gorge.

What to expect

From the visitor centre near Zeda Gordi, a forest path of about half an hour leads to the walkway; vehicles also cover part of the distance. The canyon pairs well with Kinchkha Waterfall nearby, making a full day out from Kutaisi.
